If your mind is already on the holidays and you’re mentally planning what to pack, the chances are you’ll be visualising the outfits which will take you from pool to bar or piazza to cocktail hour. Obviously, you could opt for the latest trends and buy outfits accordingly, but we thought we’d show you three classic looks which have stood the test of time for the most fashionable of globe-trotters.
The Maxi Dress
Nothing says holidays better than a maxi dress, and no-one does it better than Kate Hudson. The maxi dress is the ultimate holiday essential, as it can be thrown over a bikini to let you go for a spot of lunch directly from the beach, or dressed up with beaded accessories and statement earrings for a more evening feel. Maxi dresses often come in materials which don’t need a lot of ironing, and so won’t suffer for being shoved in a bag while you’re poolside and the huge range of patterns and cuts means there’s a maxi out there for everyone. Of course, you’ll want to make sure that your arms and décolletage are looking their best, so slather on some Decleor Moisturising Body Milk to help your skin look its best after a day in the sun.
Denim Shorts
Rihanna has done as much to raise the profile of denim shorts in the last five years as she has for the entire nation of Barbados and to be fair, they’re a fab item to throw over a swimming costume if you dare to bare your pins. Denim shorts don’t necessarily have to be cut super high, and a mid-thigh length paired with a cotton kaftan or colourful vest make a great casual outfit. Dress down with flip flops or up with wedges, but be sure to give those thighs a once-over with some Decleor Slim Effect Draining Massage Balm to help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
The Kaftan
Rita Ora shows us how more is definitely more in this gorgeous kaftan, looking more than glamorous enough to go from day to night. Kaftans offer great coverage whilst still looking chic and relaxed, and can be paired with heels or flats, depending on the look you’re going for. Decleor’s Brightening Night Cream is an evening moisturiser which revitalises the skin and evens tone to make sure that, even if your face is the only thing on show, you still look radiant.
Oversized Hats
Sometimes, even the most seasoned sun-seekers like to give their head and shoulders a break from the sun and an oversized hat is probably the most stylish way to do it. Hats can be combined with almost any look, especially those we’ve mentioned above, and celebs from Kim Kardashian to Blake Lively opt for super-wide brims to help them stay in the shade. Keep your face light and flawless beneath with a layer of Decleor Multi-Protection BB Cream, which also offers SPF15 protection.
